This week I have been using a dove grey Parker 45 set with gold trim and and a fine gold nib. The pen is filled with Chesterfield Capri. Perhaps due to the gold trim, the grey pen looks very "warm," almost suggesting a leaning to brown rather than the blue leaning of some greys. The nib is smooth, not as wet as some of my other 45's, and feels thin and delicate as I write with it. That is one of the fascinating things about using fountain pens - no two give exactly the same writing experience.

I've just inked up an old favourite - a green marble lacquered Sonnet with the large gold ring on the cap, and the 18k medium italic nib (although it's closer to a fine!). I've not used this pen for years and I'd forgotten how nice it writes. Pelikan royal blue ink to compliment it.

ST Patrick's Day? Nassau Green Parker 51 with Pelikan green ink!

Having graduated from my "software engineering" job, I've gone back to school. I took notes today with my favorite P-51 aerometric, US medium, midnight blue, with the Minuskin-ized nib. Asa-gao. Ah...When the professor changed topics, I switched to a P-51 vac, cedar blue, writing a 50:50 mix of vintage Quink Royal Blue (with Solv-X) and PR Supershow Blue. The mix gives a subtle shading.

Well, since you've asked: two UK Aero Duofold Juniors, medium nibs, one laying down more ink than the other; and a 51 Aero Demi with gold-filled cap and medium nib. All three pens inked with Montblanc British Racing Green. And all three pens doing justice to BRG's possibility of looking like a black ink that has something different about it.

I'm on the third ink refill on the Parker Duette. I love this pen! It will be going up for sale soon, but I will be sorry to see it go. Someone is going to be getting a really nice little pen.

Black Victory MkIV that I have just resaced and a Penol Ambassador Junior. Not sure if that counts as it has a first quality warrented nib and was manufactured during the war but it clearly has Parker heritage in the cap, section, feed and filling system.

Why should you sell it if you love it? please dont.

Today will be a Parker-only day; my Dad's P-51 and an English Duofold (aerometric) with a lovely broad nib.

[dcpritch]

LWJ2, nice pair, especially using a pen that was your father's.

 

Here's what I had in my pocket all day during meetings in iron ore country:

My black Parker 51 Aerometric with a super smooth fine nib. I took this apart over the weekend, flushed every bit of ink from it, wiped it down, air dried it, pampered it and then put it back together. Filled it up with Noodlers Bulletproof Black to makes notes at office. This pen often makes me wonder why I bought a MB146 in the first place!!

Just got in the last part I needed to finish my Ariel Kullock demonstrator vacumatic, so it's all inked up with some Sailor Jentle Miruai and looking (and writing) spiffy. I'm not sure it really counts as a true Parker but what they hey.

One of the coolest pens to fill, its great fun to watch the Vacumatic in action.

Should anyone want to see this first hand, Here is a video of the Ariel Kullock tanking up.

I filled my Sonnet with Platinum blue-black ink. Curiously, in a Platinum pen the ink is a nondescript medium blue. But in the Sonnet it is vivacious and interesting.

Parker 45 flighter...

Putting my "new" old parker 20 1/2 to good use.
